WASHINGTON, DC -- August 4, 2014: General
Motors, the U.S. Army and Raytheon Company announced they are teaming
up to provide eligible transitioning Army soldiers with skills to become
service technicians at GM dealerships after they return to civilian
life.

The Shifting Gears Automotive Technician Training Program, a multi-year
partnership between the two companies and the Army, will begin in August at
Fort Hood in Killeen, Texas.

Shifting Gears will be part of the Army’s Soldier for Life support
program, which helps soldiers reintegrate into their communities after
leaving the Army. Upon successful course completion and program graduation,
veterans receive career counseling, job-placement recommendations and
employment assistance from Army Soldier for Life centers, and access to
available GM technician employment opportunities through GM’s
authorized dealer network.

“Shifting Gears illustrates GM’s commitment to serving those
who serve America,” said Steve Hill, GM vice president, U.S. Sales
and Service. “GM has supported the U.S. military for 100 years. From
providing purpose-built vehicles in conflict situations to today’s
support for veterans and returning military personnel, we continue to be
their strong allies.”
